Thanks for your help on this. I decided not to go ahead with Hot.wire as the prices were not significant and the hotels not preferred. I had a look at your mapsandhotels website and ended up booking with my choice of hotel.

Just a further update - Hotwire refunded this booking following several email claims Star rating discrepancies: 1. Hotwire Hilton Bentley Standard rate hotels 4.5 stars 2. Hotwire Hilton Bentley Vacation 4 stars 3. Expedia Hilton Bentley 4 stars Hotwire response: "For our Hot Rates, star ratings is taken from the Expedia's star ratings. As previously advised, we use customers' feedback to adjust the ratings accordingly. On the other hand, Standard Rate hotels star ratings are taken from the Expedia ratings alone. For this reason, it is possible to have observed different star ratings when you compare the ones booked under our Hot Rates list to the ones available from our Standard Rate hotels." Amenities: Hotwire secret rate hotel - Booking conditions and email confirmation lists guaranteed AMENITIES - SUITE Contacted Hilton Bentley hotel directly and advised allocated room is STANDARD STUDIO CITY VIEW not a suite, may upgrade to suite for $600 Hotwire: Updated amenities list following customer feedback and offered refund

My brother booked $A241.49/night 4.5* with amenities: Pet friendly Suite Boutique hotel Beachfront hotel Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Kitchenette Spa services In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Roll-in shower

It does looks like it is vacation Hotwire listing 4 star for Hilton Bentley. Expedia's website also lists 4 star for Hilton Bentley. Hotwire's response to my brother's email does state "Hotwire starts with Expedia star ratings, and then adjusts each hotel based on our customer's feedback"

My brother just purchased this hotel and ended up with the Hilton Bentley Miami South Beach 4.5* South Beach Oceanfront Collins resort $242 7/25/15-7/31/15 90% recommended no resort fee listed Free InternetResortPet friendlyBeachfront hotelSmoke-free roomsFitness centerPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business centerInternet accessSpa servicesChildren's activitiesAccessible for visually impairedAccessible path of travelIn-room accessibilityAccessible bathroomAccessible parkingRoll-in shower He is contesting it as there are Hotwire and Expedia pages that list it as a 4* hotel. Whereas he purchased a 4.5* secret hot rate hotel. Are you aware of the actual Hilton Bentley's star rating? Hotwire's initial response: "Thank you for contacting Hotwire Customer Care regarding your hotel reservation with the Miami South Beach Bentley Hilton in Florida, scheduled for check in on July 25, 2015, Hotwire itinerary. I understand you observed a different review and hotel star rating of the hotel from other site I would be willing to provide information regarding your concern. As I have checked your account, the hotel current star rating is four and half star. I understand you have observed a different star rating for the Miami South Beach Bentley Hilton in Florida than the star rating listed on the Hotwire site. While there is no standard star ratings system in the US, we work hard to offer clear and accurate star ratings.

Thank you The Hotwire 4.5* Oceanfront Collins hotel $212 lists $21 resort fee The James Royal Palm hotel website lists $244 and $30 resort fee. Do you think hotwire's resort fee is outdated since the Starwood takeover or that this could be a different hotel not the James Royal Palm?

Last minute booking for tomorrow night. Bid $150-$172 using re-bid zones, next bid of $174 accepted for the Mondrian. Saved 37%. I declined the counter bid of $197 three times, figured the midway price was $170 but bids of $169 $170 $172 were not accepted. The 4.5* Priceline express deal for west Hollywood was $184 Priceline retail for Mondrian $279.

Reporting for someone else. Bid 4* West Hollywood for Friday and Saturday nights. Bid $160 and declined counter offer to increase bid to $206. Next bid $171, $177. Got Le Montrose on the next bid $182 which was midway between the first bid and counter offer.

Can you please close this thread. I'm not going to go ahead with bidding. I bid up to $265 on 4.5* and 5* with no success. I was thinking of bidding 4* but didn't want to risk getting the marriott as it was the lowest priced hotel and as bidding $200-225 was close to direct rates for the marriott. Rates are very heavily booked for this period so thought my chances bidding weren't looking very good. Decided to book direct the outrigger with a reasonable rate no resort fees and less then I had bid up to.

I followed up my Santa Monica thread. I bid on 5* and 4.5* waikiki beach just to test it out up to $165 no success. I am thinking of bidding 4* waikiki beach next. In your experience does the marriott get reported as a 4* WB win more often than the other hotels in the zone? Apparently waikiki is very popular this week and is about 70% reserved.

Ended up staying at the Shore hotel booked through Magellan hotels. They had a better last minute rate available and a policy that if the rate drops after you reserve with them, they will give you the cheaper rate.

1. Are you able to help give me an idea what price you think it would like take for a win in each waikiki zone below? 11/19/14-11/23/14 - 4.5* waikiki beach (PL retail $387-415 Sheraton, Westin) - 4* waikiki beach (PL retail $260-541 Marriott, Outriggers, Hilton VIllage, Aston WB tower) - 4* waikiki city central (PL retail $234-241 ? Hyatt, Hilton) 2. The name your own price side does list 4.5* waikiki beach zone, however, the PL retail list view doesn't seem to show 4.5* against hotel names (only 4*). Do you know if I have guessed the star rating correctly above, ie. which hotels are included in star rating and zones? Or does 4.5* no longer exist? Thanks!

The Kaanapali condo $228 hotwire listing doesn't mention a resort fee, whereas it seems there is a resort fee for the honua kai?? Could this mean it may not be the Honua Kai? The Kaanapali resort $227 and hotel $165 hotwire listings do mention a resort fee in their totals. Thanks for your help.

Could you also help with the Priceline express deal? 4 nights 11/15-11/-19 4* Kaanaapali $227/night 8/10 Guaranteed Amenities: Indoor or Outdoor Pool Pets Allowed Fitness Center Free Internet Business Center Also, if bidding on Priceline for 4* Kaanapali Lahaina area is it likely to get any of : Kapalua Villas, Hyatt, Sheraton, Westin, Polynesian Shores, Kaanapali Ali (which shows as available in a 4* search)? If Kapalua villas is a possibility I would prefer not to bid as it appears further away from the whalers village central location.
